Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify plugin installation and versionNavigate to WordPress admin > Plugins and check if '5 Stars Rating Funnel' is installed. Note the installed version number.Affected if The plugin is installed and the version is 1.2.67 or lower.
-
Locate plugin PHP filesAccess the wp-content/plugins/fivestars-rating-funnel directory via file manager or FTP. Identify all PHP files in the plugin, particularly files handling ajax requests (often named like 'admin.php', 'ajax.php', or containing 'wp_ajax_' hooks).Affected if The plugin PHP files exist in the WordPress installation.
-
Search for adminajax action handlersSearch plugin PHP files for 'add_action' hooks containing 'wp_ajax_' to identify all ajax endpoints the plugin registers. Also look for 'admin_post_' hooks.Affected if Ajax action handlers are found without proper authorization checks.
-
Inspect for missing capability checksOpen each file containing ajax or admin action handlers. Search for 'current_user_can' or similar authorization functions within 10 lines before each action hook callback. Flag any callbacks that lack these checks.Affected if Any registered action handler callback does not contain 'current_user_can()' verification before executing sensitive operations.
-
Check for nonce validation absenceIn the same action handler files, look for 'wp_verify_nonce', 'check_ajax_referer', or 'check_admin_referer' calls within each callback. Note which handlers lack nonce verification.Affected if Action handlers process requests without validating nonces, allowing potential CSRF attacks.
You are affected if the 5 Stars Rating Funnel plugin version 1.2.67 or lower is installed and contains ajax or admin action handlers that lack current_user_can() capability checks and nonce validation.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedIdentify all plugin actions/endpoints lacking authorization checks and add proper capability verification (e.g., current_user_can()) and nonce validation to restrict access to authorized users only.
